3th gen Ipod Touch64gig refuses to connect after iTunes upgrade 11.1.3
I use a 3th Generation ipodtouch to store all my favourite music in combi with my surround system. Never had much hazzle with it.
Connect & forget last 5-6y.
My son decided to upgrade itunes upon my mac, a few days with latest version 11.1.3(8)
On first connection after upgrade, it told that the HD was full sized, this was strange becuz there was still 10Gig available, after latest connection.
All via iTunes purchased music did download vai the iCloud, so thats ok.
But all other music upon my iTunes simply refuses to upload to the ipodTouch.
It keeps saying No connection of ipod becuz of lost connection, this happens both via cable & wifi.
Has this something todo with Apple policy & dropping older hardware?
My Mac is still using snow leo, so no Icloud support at all with that version.
Thx 4 replies anyway.
Well, I'm almost gave up on this and already ordered a iPod classic with larger HD. But now thinking this wasnt one of the best idea's...becuz I'm almost sure Apple ordered a death warrant to older generations IPods. Now I had this idea to try if it load apps after the restore...and yes it did, so it isn't a data connections issues I got here but a simple matter of Apple poitics, and to say the least this ***.
So what I did find out so far....it don't load music,pictues and agenda it does load apps. I don't need app anymore on my iPod, I don't need a front and back camera on my iPod, i don't need facetime on my iPod...i've got a smartphone and that does all the rest.
Was thinking of buying another MAC, but now its clear that aint the right option.
(Very glad I didn't buy an iphone also)

3rd gen iPod touch reports "No Podcasts" after OS4 upgrade;955 really there
I upgraded to OS4 last night. Now when I go to Music > Podcasts, it shows "No Podcasts". It also has a "Now Playing" arrow that goes to the podcast I was last listening to, which still works! When connected to iTunes the device lists 955 podcasts actually on it. Any ideas how to get to them with OS4?
Thanks!Now to answer my own question at a pragmatic level:
I resynched the iPod with iTunes, during which a good deal of processing occurred. After that, the podcasts reappeared on my iPod. -
2nd gen ipod touch freezes at connect to itunes screen
I finished downloading my installation file for the OS4.1 update but when it came to the actual updating, itunes said that my ipod had an error and could not update successfully
after that my screen for the ipod just froze at the picture which shows the usb connection to itunes.even after restarting both my computer and my ipod the ipod was still stuck at the connect to itunes screen. Anyone experienced a similar thing and knows how to solve it?Try placing the iPod in recovery mode

I can't get Itunes to communicate with my 3rd gen Nano - I've reinstalled iTunes several times but still get the same error message for both mine and my wife's ipod - same version of 3rd gen. All the troubleshooting guide has been followed but still not connecting.
Any ideas?Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
I re-installed i-tunes but this didn't solve the issue. Other iPods including additional 5th generation nanos connect and sync just fine. When it's plugged into the computer, it says "Connected...Eject before disconnecting" but doesn't show in itunes or the computer, then the ipod resets and the cycle begins again. It plays music just fine. It also plays fine when directly connected by USB to a Toyota Avalon. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks!

Ipod can not sync photos after iTunes upgrade
I upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1.22 a few days ago. I plugged in my ipod and get the message, "ipod can not be synced. required folder can not be found" and after this message another, "...device cannot be found" I have not deleted or moved any folders.
I have never had trouble with syncing my ipod before. What's different? any suggestions?if you guys own Aperture, a new update just fixed my issues.
I didn't even think Aperture was an issue since I never selected to sync using aperture. But now my iPhoto options are not grayed out to select partial library options, and the full library sync finally shows my accurate 12.8 gigs of space in the colored device fill bar at the bottom of iTunes sync.

IPod classic will not sync after iTunes upgrade
After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes - 10.6.1.7 - yesterday, my iPod classic is not recognized and I cannot sync it.
The iPod does appear as a drive on my computer (with Windows XP). The screen message on the iPod states that it is synching with iTunes, the iTunes message states it is synching with the iPod - but the iPod does not download anything new from iTunes and it does not appear as a device on iTunes.
I've gone through the steps for troubleshooting; I've tried syncing the iPod on two different computers - unfortunately both of which have been upgraded to the latest version of iTunes - with the exact same results.
It worked fine before I upgraded iTunes and I'm at a loss on how to fix this. Is there some way to uninstall the upgrade and reinstall the old version?
Suggestions are most welcome. Thanks much.I am also having this problem. I have a 160gb classic that I bought last fall. I have a work computer I've used for my iTunes synch base due to broadband access. The system had worked well enough with 64 bit XP and a few registration tweaks to calm itunes about working in that old environment. Forward to 2 weeks ago - I copy my library to the network drive so that IT can scrub the computer and upgrade me to Win 7. Computer is back up, install the newest version if iTunes, seems to come up fine. Several rounds of re-importing the library after it kept entering all the songs twice. Go to re-synch the ipod - get the 'this is a new device, erase *EVERYTHING* and re-synch. Yep yep. Sits there for nearly two hours saying it's re-uploading stuff. Then on the way home, I see - hey, a ton of stuff isn't there, lots of missing podcasts. Go check, everything is checked, new stuff downloaded, can listen to it on the PC with headphones. Then go synch the iPod - get the same 'things are updating..... synch finished'. And nothing has up- or down-loaded. Tried unchecking stuff, nada. Import new stuff, nada. Nothing Plus it looks like pretty much every CD i ripped into itunes for the past 4-5 months failed to move - maybe iTunes was saving it somewhere else than the My Music folder. PITA-factor of that aside, I'd really like to get at the last 3-4 weeks of podcasts. Any help on getting the system to actually do a real sy
My other changes in the last few weeks are getting a new iPhone to replace an old non-iPhone, so there is another devicee on the account. I don't see my iPod listed amongst my devices in the iTunes store - not sure if that's only for wireless stuff.

3rd gen 8GB ipod touch stuck on connect to itunes
This isn't fair. I just bought this 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch (my first ipod ever, only owned Mp3 players) from best buy today and i can't even use it...
I'm going to start from square one, this will be long-winded, so forgive me in advance. But detail might help you guys help me out...
Okay, all giddy with excitement I boot up my touch for the first time. It tells me to connect it to itunes. I do that, hooking up the touch to the computer via usb. Vista detects it, installs the "apple mobile device" drivers just fine. Good, so then I open up itunes -- latest version -- and it's telling me to set up my ipod; name it, etc. Alright, I'm almost bursting at the seams here with excitement, but then itunes is notifying me that iOS4 is out. I upgrade, it takes a few minutes to do its stuff, it's done, and bam it's working. I play with the ipod a little bit, looking at the apps that already came with it. I disconnect, play with it, then reconnect to the computer again.
So now, itunes for some reason is doing a "recovery" process -- i did not tell it to initiate this. So it's in the process of "recovering" (backing up, i guess?) and Vista is prompting me to install the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery)" I tell it ok, locate and install them. It does that, I'm guessing, for it's now prompting me to insert a CD. Well, there is no CD so I tell it to find this driver on the internet. It says "cannot find drivers check manufacturer's support site blah blah blah." At this point, itunes tells me that it cannot complete the "recovery process" -- no error code or anything, and the dialog box closes.
Now, my ipod goes into the connect to itunes screen. Itunes does not recognize it, for it does not even display my ipod at all. Vista does however, and each time i connect the ipod to the computer it attempts to install the "apple mobile device (recovery)" driver and fails each time. I don't know what's happening. I've lost all functionality in my ipod, can't even get into DFU. iTunes just refuses to recognize it. I've tried all of those fixes (reinstalling itunes, rebooting, trying that method where you go into device manager and update the apple mobile device (recovery) drivers....all of it doesn't work). I've spent hours websearching...
And I'm at a loss. I'm ready to throw this thing somewhere. Can you guys suggest any help for me? Please...

My daughter forgot her passcode and tried too many times to remember it, so now her iPod is locked with the message "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes." I tried connecting it to iTunes, but iTunes says it could not connect "because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
Question 1: What are we doing wrong? Why does the iPod say to connect to iTunes if it CAN'T be connected to iTunes?
Some other threads suggest that the only option is to wipe/restore it. The problem is that she has a lot of photos she would like to rescue before erasing it. The Photostream had not been enabled on her computer, so I enabled it. Shortly thereafter, six photos appeared on her computer. But she says there are many, many more and she really wants them. We have waited weeks for more photos to appear, but no more have shown up after the first six. Why not?
Question 2: Is there anything we can do to coax the iPod to finish sharing the rest of the photos in her Photostream?Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You can't get info off the iPod in its present state
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
All you can to to get the photos is:
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..Hi
Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.

hi, my daughter hers ipod touch is disabled connect to itunes after say its itunes couldnot connect to the "ipod touch" because its is locked with a passcode please help how to fix connect...i did turn off her ipod touch put usb back on there same in doenot say still ipod is disabled i dont understand please help how???
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New. -
After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes
I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?
It is NOT pretty.

2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer
I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
Any suggestions? -
IPod Touch frozen on Connect to iTunes Screen and cannot be restarted
My iPod Touch is frozen on the connecting to iTunes screen (The one with a usb plug pointing to iTunes logo) even when I plug it into my computer. Windows do give sound when I plugin, but it was not the successful connected sound but repeating the first note for three times =_=" iPod then appears the connect to iTunes logo, but it just stuck there. I hold the sleep/wake button for 5 seconds, it goes black directly, and windows would give unplug sound alert. But the iPod actually gives the white apple logo immediately without me pressing any button and goes back to the connect to iTunes logo. AGAIN. And computer gives ridiculous plugin alert then everything just go round and round and round.
Now iTunes won't detect it, therefore no restoration; Restart won't work either. If I press the sleep/wake button for 2 seconds without connecting it to the computer, it appears the apple logo, then go back to the connecting to iTunes screen immediately, and goes dark in 30 seconds.
Everything started after I updated new iOS for iPod touch, and I dunno how long would it take to run out the battery under this condition -_- I have updated to the newest iTunes version too.
Needs help urgently and thanks a lot!!Sorry to hear that you're still having a problem. The only other help I could find is at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/ipod-how-to-restart-frozen-begin-troubleshooting.html
